Sorry about the delay Spudjuice. Userstartup cheats won't help. It has to be in graphic rules. I've had a look at your config log, and you're definitely on lo-res which is going to cause problems.
You need to go to the first post and download the fix for the AMD Radeon 7900 card - that's in Step 2.
Then you need to put it in the folders also stated in the first post - that's in Step 3.
Go to First Post in thread
Once you've done that, please go into the game - check it out and let me know how you go (Step 4).

That config log was copied when I had the 7900 fix in the config and csconfig folders. It appeared correct and I was able to set my settings up to high except smooth edges, and the other issues I mentioned (neighbours, view distance). It looked good on the surface but those options sent me crazy!
The userstartup file I tried dealt exclusively with the neighbours/hood deco/view distance.

That's interesting - because it hasn't worked for you. ok. I'm going to create a special one with a trace in it to see what's happening for you.
After having a look at what you had - I think I've worked out what the problem is. Try this card in the appropriate place: Download AMDRadeon7900Fix 2
It should do everything you need.

Yeah - that's not a directx problem, that's a program error. It didn't like my fix for some reason. Will amend it and re-upload it.
OK. Redownload from the link above, it's been amended. Totally my fault - a small coding problem.

Sorry about that - I really shouldn't do coding changes before I've had my coffee.

I've tested this one myself, and know that it works.

Thank you!
Okay, I've given it a go. Smooth edges is now enabled, yay!
However, the lot view distance/neighbours/decorations options are still not working. Clickable neighbours works now (I seem to remember that not working), and fade distance still works. The options aren't greyed, they just... don't do anything when I click them. The "uintProp lotSkirtSizeIncrease 36" I tried in the user startup file doesn't work as a cheat file, but DOES work if I put it in the in-game cheat bar, so I suppose there's that workaround...

Can you give me another copy of your config file? I'll see if there's anything in there that I can adapt.
